@Razieluigi I had an akura for 5 minutes and returned it. It crops off some of the Dreamcast image, something cheap HDMI dongles don't do and something their Scart cable doesn't do.
The Behar Bros scart cable is called the Mamba if you're interested. But that depends on the Rabbit hole you're willing to go down.
@Chocoburger I use them on pretty much anything but I got sick of waiting for the Dreamcast cables the Scart cable I have now looks AMAZING and everything I throw at it just plays if it doesn't there's a Swtich and BAM
@Razieluigi The people who want these things already have a means of hooking them up. The people who just go for a bad HDMI dongle are actually in the minority or people. They'll get them, see how terrible they are then look for something better and it's a whole rabbit hole.
Happened to a friend of mine who has 2 Retrotinks now and got a Mister after all I did was tell him collecting Super Famicom was pretty cheap.... then a beast was unleashed.
In terms of building on what was established in Street Fighter and improving on it, Fatal Fury was more of a Street Fighter 2 than Street Fighter 2 was. 3 playable characters instead of 2, earning specials, the plane switching, it just built on Street Fighter. People also forget Fatal Fury was in development before Street Fighter 2 as well.
GTAIII to me is a more important game than Shenmue. This backs up that claim.
I DON'T like Shenmue like at all. But I can't deny how important it is to modern game design. But I think GTA which was developed around the same time really took that idea and Bumped it up to 11.
I still don't know where I can preorder these things. If I don't get that Information soon, I'm just getting a retroid Pocket 4 Pro with a dock and loading with Arcade roms.

Re: The "Sega Saturn Slim" Is Now Our Most-Wanted Hardware Of 2024
Is it an unpopular opinion that the Saturn was the better console between it and the Dreamcast?
Because I prefer it to the Dreamcast. Not that I don't love the Dreamcast. I just love the Saturn more for it's mid 90s Arcade goodness.

Re: Game Researcher Says Street Fighter II Was "USA Vs. Japan" And Japanese People Aren't Happy
Yeah that researcher knows nothing about Street Fighter.

Re: The "Best" Dreamcast Component Cables Are Almost Here
@Razieluigi Apparently me saying it was vapor ware willed it's preorder back into existence. Apparently they're open now.
And you're not exactly Emulating on the pocket You kind of are but at a hardware level. I've never been good at explaining how FPGAs do these things.
Re: The "Best" Dreamcast Component Cables Are Almost Here
@Razieluigi It's worth the effort. Retrotink has a Scart to Component transcoder if you wanted to go that route.
I'm looking iinto a MISTer myself. Seems like Taki Udon has vaporware so I might as well start saving soon for the real thing
